Excerpt from Love and Honour "Does this prolonged interview of Ostenburg with His Majesty mean more than friendship with the Prussian Court? - that is what I want to know, " said Monsieur de Norvins, looking round the table at his guests, of whom the greater part, both French and Germans, were officers or officials of the newly made Westphalian kingdom. "You, Hammerstein, " turning to his neighbour on the right, "have you no idea?" The Freiherr von Hammerstein shrugged his shoulders. "What did he say to you about it?" he asked. "Nothing. A note was brought to me half an hour before dinner - three lines begging me not to wait as the King had unexpectedly summoned him to a private audience." "Well, " said Hammerstein, with a laugh, "if you, the General Secretary of State, know so little, what can you expect of a poor chef d' escadron like myself?" Norvins turned to another officer, a fair, good-looking man who wore the uniform of the Bodyguard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
